Race preview
ARCLAND has won just twice, but has been in good form recently. Runner-up six times, including on four occasions this year, the nine-year-old would ideally prefer a stiffer test of stamina and was beaten seven lengths on his latest hurdles outing, but his rider's 7lb claim is a help. Three of Must Meet Cecil's five wins have come in claiming hurdles, but he has also competed well in handicaps recently and should get involved at the business end. Mic Drop met some trouble when finishing behind Must Meet Cecil at Kilbeggan earlier this month and will appreciate the slightly longer trip.
